Messy Progress with Adrienne Smith

Most of us, myself included, look at where we are and then get into action to fix what we don't like.  Taking the time to look at where we want to go in all areas of our life is a vital part of the process.  In this episode, I'll walk you through how to do just that so that the action you take is grounded in what you truly want to be creating, not just a band-aid or quick fix.  Tune in to episode 15 or visit the notes to start with the journaling exercises on Being Where You Are first.   

Be. Look. Move. Get Messy.  

In today’s episode, I’m talking with Lieutenant Colonel Ed Arntson of the United States Army.  His career in the army began 19 years ago and has included 7 deployments to Iraq, Afghanistan, Korea and the U.S. Border all while being married to his wife of 17 years and raising two kids who are now 11 and 9.  I wanted to have this conversation with Ed because our lives are so different and I wanted to know more about what it’s like to be in his shoes of service.  What I got hit with during this conversation was not only the incredible path that he is on, my appreciation for his service to our country but how shared history connects us on a level beyond explanation and understanding.  We don’t know anything about the day to day woes that we both have but curiosity opens the door to connection and compassion.  I hope this conversation brings joy to your heart, can tap into the relatability that we all share even if we are in different jobs.  And lastly, that you take a moment to pause and appreciate those in your life who have left an imprint on you being the person you are today.  

Randee Brookins and China Jones are the founders of Women who Warrior - what started as a retreat has now become a business to show women how to go inward and outward to share, connect and create with new people to gain fresh perspectives.   Together, they are on a mission to help women get clear on what they want, how to get it and how to keep it.  They demonstrate the power of women working together to create endless energy, possibilities and the best freaking life possible.  

The NEW year brings on all the new resolutions we want to put into action.  In order for us to really bring forth what is needed in our life, we have to take roll of where we are right now, what got created in the last year, where the stakes are high for making a resolution happen FIRST! In this episode, Adrienne discusses 10 areas to take inventory on right now.  Make sure to check out the show notes here if you need to reference back to the journaling questions.  

This 3-step system is a sure-fire way to get out of any funk and into a space where new things are possible.   Be. Look. Move.  Hear lived examples of how Adrienne has applied this 3 step process in her life when changing jobs, training for a new sport and dealing with a pandemic.  

Redirecting our attention when life shows up in ways we didn't expect is a super power and in this conversation with Professional distance runner, Alicia Vargo you'll see just how possible it is to do when faced with tragedy, heartache and disappointment.

The ability to oscillate with the utmost authenticity between being crazy and fun one moment and serious and straight up business the next is not part of everyone's character - but it is 100% part of living a life of radical self love and self acceptance.  This conversation with Bradshaw Wish will cause you to be surprised, to be curious, and definitely to laugh.  Follow Bradshaw on instagram at @bradshawwishyoga and check out the Mariah Carey Christmas Flow coming up on 12/13/20.

In this episode, I'm talking with Gina Ward the founder of Shift to LEAD. Leadership development programs to connect you to your dreams in a new way. We talk about how the answer for what to do doesn't come from running away, but rather cultivated from feeling those little pings inside of ourselves - it's not easy, but it doesn't have to be hard.
